Me: “Vladimir Putin is in a movie with 007 ???”
Me: reads next post about whatever TF AI prompt generation/stable diffusion is
Me: “that’s enough internet for today”.

 

[Adsky Luck]

however, thread related, thing can be useful in so far as it can make scenes from our favorite movies sometimes with hilarious results

Sounds like a ripoff of "Breakdown" with Kurt Russell...

I was thinking "The Vanishing" with Kiefer and Sandra Bullock (and Jeff Bridges of course).

Yeah...I though that also. But that took place over a certain amount of time. Both the previous 2 flicks basically happened during the course of 1 day.

2 documentaries..last night and today:

-First up...Hostages. I just finished this 4 part doc on HBO a few minutes ago.

This is a compelling in depth retelling of the 1979 US hostage crisis with Iran. Initially, more than 60 US workers at the embassy in Iran were held hostage by "radical" student led Iranians looking for the return of the Shaw of Iran so that he can stand trial.

This doc captures interviews with both some hostages and some of the students, both then and now.

There were serious political overtones that always were at the forefront of this matter.

444 days later, the hostages were released!

A VERY good watch.

4/5.

-I caught this last night.

This doc tells the story of the US men's basketball team's quest for gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Prior to those Olympic Games, the world was catching up to the US in b-ball. A gold was not a foregone conclusion anymore.

Some solid interviews, back scene footage and interviews with the main characters who brought the team together on that quest.

Solid.

3.75/5.

That was a crackling good movie.

this isn’t creepy at all.

I was flipping through the my TV channels and caught a portion of the movie "X".

Brittany Snow from Pitch Perfect decides to shed her good girl image and play an adult actress in the movie. I'll need to eventually catch the movie.

 

[Ambulance Chaser]

Ambulance, a movie about a heist and car chase through Los Angeles starring Jake Gyllenhall. I had high hopes for this flick, but should have known better to expect that from Michael Bay. It was shallow even by Bay standards, with no reason to care about any of the characters. The only redeeming feature was Eiza Gonzalez. Would not recommend unless you have two hours to burn, Amazon Prime Video (it’s free), and a liking for Bay films.

Finally saw No Time to Die. Not bad. I just hope they aren’t planning a movie with the new 007 from this one, who had no apparent charisma at all.

 

[SixOhNine]

I was thinking "The Vanishing" with Kiefer and Sandra Bullock (and Jeff Bridges of course).

I never saw the American version, but the original Dutch movie was disturbing as hell.

 

[edmorel]

Just saw Lou on Netflix, and Allison Janey led action thriller wasn’t bad but it’s a movie where the “twist” made the movie worse. Definitely something to see when you have nothing else you really want to watch.

 

[Ambulance Chaser]

I never saw the American version, but the original Dutch movie was disturbing as hell.

As Hollywood is apt to do with remakes of foreign films (see The Departed), the American version tacks on a happy ending.

The intriguing thing about the difference is that the same guy directed both. I'm curious if he thought Americans wouldn't accept the creepy original story and changed it voluntarily, or if the studio strongarmed him into it.
